Georgia Power reminds customers that even if they do not change their thermostats, colder weather could result in more energy use. During cold snaps, heating systems work harder to maintain inside temperatures. The sudden change of weather makes energy efficiency even more important.

Georgia Power offers up many winter energy savings tips. These tips include ideas like keeping it sunny in your home. By allowing sunlight in, it heats the room naturally. Changing out the filter every 1-3 months, depending on your filter, and putting in a smart thermostat can save up to $100 per year.

These tips and more can be found by accessing energy saving tools and resources online at GeorgiaPower.com/Save.
